Scott not aware of injunction

Acting President Guy Scott says he has not received a copy of an injunction to restrain him from holding a parallel Patriotic Front (PF) general congress which is currently underway at Mulungushi Rock of Authority in Kabwe.

A surprised Dr. Scott said he has not seen or heard about the court order intended to stop him from proceeding with the general conference.

The Acting President was responding to a question from journalists who wanted to know whether he was aware of an injunction issued by the Lusaka High Court stopping him from proceeding with the parallel general conference.

The ex-parte order has been drawn by Mweemba Chashi and Associate on behalf of PF national chairperson Inonge Wina to PF secretary general Bridget Atanga.

Dr. Scott also laughed off reports that he, together with PF secretary general Bridget Atanga and her deputy Anthony Kasolo have been fired from the party by newly elected party president Edgar Lungu.

He said no one can fire him from the party that he formed with late President Michael Sata saying the action was a far-fetched dream.

Mr. Lungu was elected PF president yesterday by another PF general conference but Dr. Scott nullified his election.
